Alfie Departs

Alfie was put to sleep today.  He had a huge tumor and respiratory issues.  He was a little over 2 years 4 months old rattie boy.  He was a rambunctious rat man who liked to hurtle himself through the door at you to take him out.  Even as he was getting ready to be put to sleep he would butt my hand.  I actually put this one off longer than I should and he was on a fleece blanket dragging himself around.  But it is hard to do the right thing, euthanize him, when even unable to walk properly he would drag himself over to you in a low crawl that would make the army proud.  Rest in peace little Alfie.
